feeling pregnant

Hi I am fifteen years old, almost 16. I
just recently had sex for the first time
with my boyfriend this past Friday and
Saturday. On Friday, a condom was used,
but slipped off and was not noticed until
later (still during sex.) My boyfriend
felt horrible and bought me "PLANB," a
morning after pill. i had the first
tablet, and I wanted to prove to him that
this was not his fault (he felt as if i
was pressured to do it the night before)
we had sex, but he pulled out before
ejaculating. after ejaculation he wiped
off, fingered me, and we had sex for a
little longer. then when i got home i took
the second tablet of the morning after
pack which instructs to take 12 hours
after first one. It is only monday now,
but i FEEL pregnant. not because im
stressing out i dont think though.
something is different in my stomach, i
know its too early for morning sickness,
but i think this could be something. could
the morning after pill in any way INCREASE
my chances of getting pregnant? i am
discharging a very noticible amount more,
and i am having strange slight twangs of
pain in my lower abdomen. someone PLEASE
help. i am planning on taking a pregnancy
test this saturday as well as two weeks
from then.
HELP.

Morning after pill can also cause all
that, the discharge, the stomach aches,
etc... did you read the labeling on its
side effects?
You should look it up... until you miss a
period there nothing you can really do for
knowing youre pregnant or not.
Wait it out to test... but start reading
up on the product though

I have read the booklet that came with it
thoroughly, and i experienced slight
dizziness, but did not have any other side
effects on the box. The side effects
should have also worn off by now. Does it
matter on the brand of pregnancy test i
take?

ive taken the plan B pill before i had
cramps similar to period cramps and
discomfort in my stomach.
also, if you are 15, how can you know what
pregnancy feels like if you've never been
pregnant? i'm guessing you haven't been
since this is the first time you had sex.

Why did you have unprotected sex again
after your first scare? That doesn't make
sense to me at all. If you don't want to
get pregnant, never have sex without a
condom, even if he doesn't ejaculate in
you.
Having said that, wait a few weeks for
your period to come and take a test if it
doesn't.

plan b cannot INCREASE your risk of
getting pregnant, i really think your just
fine. like you im not an adult and i
understand the anxiety you must be having,
i've had it to. sometimes you mentally
convince yourself of something to the
point your body thinks so too. if in two
weeks you still have reason for concern
you can test, but sit back take a breather
and realize you've done exactly what you
should.

i had sex the second timebecausethe first
time he felt as if it was all his fault.
he felt as if it was HIS mistake, not
OURS. if something does come of this, i
never want him to remember it as the
mistake made by him, and that i didnt want
to have sex.
thanks concernedk, youre right.

That wasn't my question. Why did you have
unprotected sex? You can't
fix a mistake by repeating it. You took
plan b because you were afraid of
pregnancy, right? And then immediately
after taking it, you had unprotected sex
again. That seems counterproductive to me.
Always, always, always use condoms. No
one's trying to make you feel bad for
having sex, but please be smart about it
and protect yourself. Always use
protection. Don't rely on him pulling out
to keep you safe from pregnancy. Many
women here have gotten pregnant from
pre-ejaculate.
Plan B should protect you this time from
pregnancy, but please remember this
situation and how it made you both feel.
Take care in the future to protect
yourself.
Good luck.

because if i AM goingto be pregnant, it
wont be just his fault. i know i know it
sounds really dumb. but weve talked
thoroughly, and weve decided to not even
consider sex until six months from now.
i understa d. i know i put myself in a
very bad position, and i know it was
stupid. just hoping this isnt going to
change everything.

condoms not only protect you from
pregnancy. but they are also there to
protect you from sexually transmitted
infections.
if you plan on being sexually active, you
need to use condoms and if you don't want
to get pregnant, get on birth control pill
or something to have extra protection.

You exposed yourself to pregnancy a second
time to make your boyfriend feel better?
Do you think becoming a father at his age
will make him feel better? You don't think
he'll be wondering in the back of his head
"If we hadn't done it that second time
maybe she wouldn't be pregnant right now"?
I promise that him wondering if he
pressured you into sex won't bother him
half as much as knowing he's going to be a
father whether he's ready or not because
he had careless unprotected sex.
And what about yourself? Are you really
willing to risk becoming a mother at 16
years old in an attempt to make your
boyfriend feel better? In all likelihood
you won't even be with him in a year or
two (not trying to be mean of course, but
teenaged relationships rarely work out)
and yet you're willing to risk the rest of
your youth on a pregnancy with this boy.
Your child is your child for the rest of
your life, and that's a new kind of
responsibility that you really don't need
right now.
What's done is done, and I just pray
you'll take something away from all of
this. Condoms and birth control are your
friend, and you should never consider sex
without one or both. You have your whole
life ahead of you. You won't just be
protecting yourself from pregnancy, but
also STD's and cervical cancer. You're
still so young and there's so much in
front of you. Don't throw that away.
Please take care from now on. If you want
to make your boyfriend feel better, sit
him down and talk with him, or write him a
long letter. Don't repeat risky behavior
that puts both your futures in jeopardy.
Be safe and good luck.

You should wait until your period is late
before you worry about testing. Some tests
claim to be accurate up to four days
before your missed period, but I didn't
test positive with my first until the day
my period was due. It's best to wait until
you miss a period.
Hopefully the Plan B worked and you're not
pregnant. Keep us updated.

its missed when you dont get it on time.
You should get it around the same time
every month. If it doesnt come the same
time it usually does and you would like to
test the day of your period you can. Or
you could wait a couple days after its
missed, Meaning it doesnt show up at all
this month.

Not only do you need birth control, but
you really need to start keeping up with
your periods. Take a calendar and mark the
first day you start and the day you
finish. Doing this will give you a better
knowledge of you cycle, and alert you to
possible problems.
